Obama calls a Michigan reporter "sweetie" when asked what he would do for the workers at the auto plant he was visiting... odd.

Well, the end of the world has now begun.
What guy calls anyone “sweetie??”
I bet she gets a sit down with Obama now. The sweet young thing deserves it.
I'd gladly call a male 'honey' or 'sweetie' and it would mean nothing derogatory. It would be a term of friendliness and nothing more.
Can we all focus on Obama's socialist tendencies and not that he called someone 'sweetie'?
I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. I’m just surprised that any reporter would even think to question Obama at all. They usually just parrot his lines.
She was none to happy about it, how sexist.
Well,was she a sweetie? Any pics?
Only arrogant a**holes do.
“I don’t think it’s that big of a deal.”
Oh, I’m not shooting at you. I heard the story earlier on some news channel and they were all over it. You would have thought he called her something I probably shouldn’t post.
Or gay guys.
Well, maybe he thought he would sound tough and macho, which surveys have identified as important in those vast stretches of emptiness over which you are forced to fly while on your way from Manhattan, Center of the Universe, to some other important place, like Beverly Hills/s;)
When I was a little boy, people used “sweetie pie” as a term of endearment when speaking to a girlfriend or sometimes a child. But today, the press would only allow someone like Obama to get away with it.
The feminazis and the NAGS types may be pissed about this, but other than that, who cares...
Man the life boats!!! What a non story, I'm for calling every ugly reporter in the world sweetie, if it p**** them off. Ninety nine percent of them are to dumb to know if it is raining.
My friend’s girlfriend calls me sweetie.
Dunno why, but she does.
I’m with you. I regularly get called “dear,” “gal,” “honey,” etc., and I don’t think it’s insulting at all. It’s just the way a lot of people talk here in southwest Missouri.
It would be funny if this became more controversial than his “10,000 dead” statement after last year’s tornado.
Or more controversial than his 57 states comment.
Think of how Quayle suffered just for adding an e on potato.
